Chapter 469 The Cursed Hospital (VII)
"Password..." Feng Bujue muttered, and typed it casually, "499999..."
[It doesn't seem right] A line of words popped up in the menu in front of him.
"Okay..." Feng Bujue turned around immediately and began to search the room carefully.
Obviously, the treasure chest in front of him was not the kind of puzzle that could be solved immediately, but needed to collect clues elsewhere to solve it.
"Although this is not a corridor, it seems unrealistic for me to stand here and try to enter the password a million times... "Feng Bujue said while searching, "At present, I don't know what will be triggered if I stay in the room for a long time, and the area of this room is very small. If something really pops out... I don't even have room for detours."
Two or three minutes later, Brother Jue had basically determined the situation of Room 109. Except for the "shock" point when opening the door, and the treasure chest that requires a password to open, there is nothing else of value.
"Then there is no way..." Feng Bujue said helplessly, and then left the room.
After returning to the corridor, he continued to move forward in the direction he had just walked. Not long after, he came to a crossroads. There, Brother Jue found another map - "Floor plan of Cedar County Public Hospital 1F". Like the map on the second floor of the hospital, this map also looked very confusing.
However, Feng Bujue seemed to understand: "Well... it's true, many parts can overlap..." This time he had experience. In order to avoid attracting Chad, he only spent a short time to memorize the entire map roughly, and then quickly turned around and left.
"According to the map..." Feng Bujue was making a plan while rushing on the road, "This corridor should lead to the restaurant, and it will pass the pediatric clinic on the way... and the blood bank is in the basement... so..."
He soon came to the corridor where the pediatric clinic was located. The obstetrics and gynecology department was next to it. There was also a T-junction not far away. Turning there, you can go to the pediatric ward.
Just as Feng Bujue was about to pass that intersection directly. Suddenly, a string of silver bell-like laughter rang in his ears.
"Hey, hey... How many quest lines are there in this script..." Feng Bujue couldn't help but mutter softly, and at the same time, he turned his head to follow the sound.
The laughter came from the fork on his right. The lights in the corridor seemed to be broken. Except for a few meters near the intersection, it was all dark.
Seven or eight meters away, at the junction of darkness and light, a child was standing there. She was wearing a red dress. She looked only eight or nine years old, with long black hair covering her face and hanging down to her chest.
"Hee..." The ethereal laughter was creepy.
"Well... standing in the shadow..." Feng Bujue said, "Then it is impossible to determine whether she is a monster or a ghost, but judging from her appearance and behavior, it is probably a ghost..."
"Uncle." The little girl suddenly spoke, "Do you like to eat candy?"
"Hey, hey... something is wrong..." Feng Bujue thought, "This kind of question should be asked by a weird uncle to a little girl..."
"Maybe..." Feng Bujue looked at the other party and replied, and his words were actually the same as not answering.
"I have candies here. Do you want some?" the little girl asked.
"What flavor?" Feng Bujue asked back a question.
The little girl ignored his question and continued, "If you help me comb my hair, I'll share some with you."
Jue Ge immediately had an idea and instinctively touched the small comb in his pocket. "Okay...ah..." He was still a little hesitant when he answered, and always felt a little weird.
"Then when you are free, come to my ward to find me. There is a mirror there." The little girl said, and then turned around, and the red shadow gradually went away. But there was no sound of footsteps.
After the other party completely disappeared from his sight, Feng Bujue stood there and waited for a few seconds, then read: "There is no task prompt..." He stroked his chin, thinking, "Is this a trap... or a link in other tasks?"
After thinking about it for about half a minute, he decided to put this incident aside for the time being. Since the other party said "when you are free", it means that he doesn't have to follow now.
Having made up his mind, he turned around and headed for the pediatric clinic more than ten meters away.
"The mission won't be that easy..." Feng Bujue had this thought in his mind when he walked to the door. He reached out and held the door handle, and the system prompt popped up in front of him: [The door is locked]
"Is it 'locked' instead of 'unopenable'... " Feng Bujue said, "That is to say... in order to enter this room and find a key, I have to find another key to open this room first..." He sighed, "Oh... okay..."
This is also a common thing in puzzle games, and there is really nothing to complain about.
Feng Bujue turned around and walked back, ready to deal with the incident of combing hair for candy first. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the fork in the road and was ready to move forward, he heard the system prompt again [The front is shrouded in a dangerous darkness, do you really want to go? 】
"Death flag..." Feng Bujue knew what this meant as soon as he heard it. He quickly retreated to the intersection. "No wonder the little girl just said 'wait until you are free' to come back. So if I follow her directly, something bad will happen..." He scratched his head. "So... should we find a flashlight or something like that first?"
As soon as he said this, he had an idea: "By the way... there should be one in the security room."
Thinking of this, Feng Bujue immediately began to recall the map of 1f, and quickly remembered the location of the security room.
"Then let's go to the security room." Brother Jue has plenty of debts to worry about now. Anyway, his messy incidents have already triggered a lot of things. It doesn't matter where he goes first.
Soon, he returned to the intersection he had passed before, and took another look at the map to deepen his impression. Then, he walked towards the hospital lobby. After walking through two corridors, ignoring some side roads and stairs at weird angles, he successfully arrived at the hospital lobby.
After arriving here, Feng Bujue unexpectedly discovered that...the door of the hospital was actually open at this time.
In reality, this is nothing new. Higher-level hospitals have overnight emergency rooms, and it is normal for them to open at night. However, in horror games with limited scenes...whether it is a mansion, a research institute, a hospital, a home, a ruins...in short, the exits are usually closed, and there are few settings for escaping.
"Huh... open the door? Am I falling for such evil?" Feng Bujue stood at the entrance of the hospital, looking at the parking lot outside the door, and said calmly. "The main mission states that you must 'stick to your job'. If I step out, I will definitely die."
"Ah..." Suddenly, a long mournful cry sounded from behind Brother Jue.
"Ah..." followed by another voice.
In the two seconds when Feng Bujue turned around, one after another screams filled the entire hospital lobby.
When he looked back, he saw nothing.
"Are you coming?" Feng Bujue said, putting on his sunglasses, "Ouch~" he howled again.
Looking out from the perspective of his sunglasses, he saw a large, dark mass of ghosts. All these ghosts gathered in front of the row of registration and fee windows and were... queuing up.
"Amitabha..." Feng Bujue took off his sunglasses. He clasped his hands and recited this sentence to express that he was helpless.
He ignored the horrifying screams and walked to the security room on his own.
Fortunately, the security room door was unlocked, so he went in directly.
There are two rooms in this room. More than half of the outer room is occupied by surveillance equipment. There are two swivel office chairs in front of the operating table. The remaining space is barely enough for people to walk. There is a smaller room connected to the back, probably a dressing room.
Feng Bujue saw the surveillance screen. He became interested, took two steps forward, sat down in front of the console, got a little familiar with the operation, and then started to adjust the monitoring probes. Observe conditions throughout the hospital.
Unfortunately, more than half of the dozens of monitor screens were filled with snowflakes, making it difficult to see clearly. The remaining cameras have fixed viewing angles. It cannot be adjusted, and all the images captured are empty corridors.
Feng Bujue immediately wanted to check the video files on his computer, but he needed to enter the administrator password to open any drive letter.
He was very depressed. So I clicked on the start menu, opened several games that came with the system, and used the name "heyheyhey" to refresh the highest records for Minesweeper, Hearts, and Solitaire, which calmed my emotions a little.
Then, he left the console and walked to the locker room.
There was no keyhole on the door handle of the dressing room, so Feng Bujue turned the door handle and opened it. After pushing the door open and entering the house, he turned on the light with one touch. The room in front of me only had a row of lockers and a few square meters of standing space. The conditions were extremely poor.
"The leaders of this hospital are so screwed up that I can't look straight at them..." Feng Bujue looked at the mottled walls, shabby concrete floors, and rusty lockers, and couldn't help but want to complain, "Although men It is true that employees do not need to lock the door when changing their work clothes, but there is not even a stool to sit on in the locker room... Does this count as saving space..."
There are eight lockers in this locker room, lined up against the wall. Feng Bujue stepped forward and tried them one by one, but only one could be opened.
As soon as the cabinet door was opened, a musty smell emitted from the cabinet.
There is an iron bar above the cabinet, and two plastic hangers are hung on the iron bar; behind the cabinet door is a poster of a swimsuit girl. It looks like... it is a half-human, half-otter creature. Judging from the swimsuit style and Judging from Lester's sexual orientation, he should be female...
Also at the bottom of the cabinet: a flashlight, a key, a severely moldy sandwich (packed in a plastic bag), a newspaper, and a small mirror.
Among them, the flashlight and small mirror are defined as "tools"; the newspaper has no description of the items; and the remaining two are plot items.
[Name: Key]
[Type: plot related]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Function: Open a door somewhere]
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: Lester secretly prepared a backup key that can open a door somewhere. 】
"Where else can I open the door..." Feng Bujue guessed the purpose of this thing as soon as he looked at the notes, "Isn't it the storage room on the third floor?"
[Name: Moldy Sandwich]
[Type: Drama related]
[Quality: Junk]
[Function: Edible? 】
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Note: Usually only severe hoarders will save such severely spoiled things. 】
"Can't this thing bring out the script..." Feng Bujue looked at the description of the item and muttered, "Where will it be used... There are patients in a certain ward who like to eat rotten food, right..."
He took the newspaper in his hand, put the other items in his pockets, and left the locker room.
After returning to the monitoring room outside, he sat on the office chair, picked up the newspaper and started reading. According to his character, he was naturally prepared to read this newspaper from front to back, but it was a pity. The system restricted his behavior.
90% of the area in the newspaper in front of him has been blurred (Monster Kingdom uses English. So far, the text Feng Bujue sees everywhere in the hospital is all in English, but the system’s built-in translation function The corresponding Chinese text will also be displayed in front of its eyes), and the news in only one area can be seen clearly.
【Bad news! Disaster at Cedar County Public Hospital! 】This is the title of that report.
Just reading the title, Feng Bujue had an ominous premonition...
[According to our report in Cedar County on December 5 (Reporter Shrek), as of 16:00 on the 5th, it has been 17 hours since the avalanche incident occurred in the Baiqiu area of Cedar County in the northern part of the Kingdom. Due to the continued blizzard weather, the search and rescue work is progressing slowly. This area is inaccessible to large vehicles. Manual excavation is struggling amid heavy snowfall and constant landslides. Relevant experts said that if the rescue channel cannot be opened within 24 hours, the possibility of survivors' survival will be infinitely close to zero. 】
"What?" Feng Bujue read the report and looked at it several times. "What's going on?" He folded the newspaper, stuffed it into his pocket, and walked out of the security room quickly.
When he returned to the hospital lobby, the screams had disappeared, and no ghosts could be seen through his sunglasses.
Brother Jue put his hands on his hips. Standing in front of the hospital gate, looking at the quiet parking lot outside, the snowy mountains and city lights in the distance are all faintly visible: "If this place has been buried... then I am in a dream at this time." ?" He quickly started thinking. "Maybe... Lester is already a ghost? That's not right... Then why do I still need sunglasses to see my own kind?" His eyes changed slightly, "Could it be... this is a 'newspaper of the future' ?”
"Wait... the time displayed on the computer just now was..." Feng Bujue remembered that when he was playing the game just now, the date displayed on the computer was already around two o'clock in the morning on December 6.
When I think of this. He turned back again to confirm.
But... this time after he opened the door to the security room, all the monitors on the console appeared. All they showed was a single snowflake.
As Feng Bujue's eyes moved, those pictures flashed strangely, and then... the scene at the beginning of the script appeared again, with blood, internal organs, and terrifying faces... except this time it was on dozens of screens at the same time. Play.
Feng Bujue stood at the door and hesitated for a while. In these brief ten seconds... the lights in the security room had quietly turned dark red. The whole room began to twist and deform, and there were strange creaking noises all around. On the wall opposite the operating table, three black stains gradually appeared, and slowly expanded to form a horrified human face...
"Tch..." Feng Bujue knew that he could no longer stay here, so he had to quickly take two steps back and close the door.
"The security room should be completely closed now, and the electronic calendar and clock in the lobby are turned off... In other words, after I read the newspaper, I can no longer confirm the date, right..." Feng Bu Jue groaned, "Forget it, I finally found the flashlight. Let's go to the pediatric ward to take a look first."
He was not too entangled. On the contrary, Brother Jue was becoming more and more interested at this moment. Unknowingly, he had been immersed in the fun of solving puzzles... The main tasks and side tasks were just formalities. His ultimate goal, or what he most wants to do... has become the mystery that unravels this script.
…………
If there is a book, it will be long; if there is no book, it will be short.
After two ellipses and eight characters, Brother Jue had already arrived at the fork in the road leading to the pediatric ward. (Before coming here, he went to the pediatric clinic to try the key in his pocket. Naturally, it failed. ).
He took out the flashlight from his pocket and turned it on, shining it forward. The dark corridor was like a huge mouth swallowing people, silent and depressing... The round light from the flashlight could only shine very close, illuminating a very small area.
This "cold and scary" atmosphere is enough to put many people away. But Feng Bujue didn't care at all. He hummed a song, waved his flashlight left and right, and walked in leisurely.
"Shaolin Kung Fu wake up~ Good thing~ Shaolin Kung Fu Jin~ Fasten the "jin"! I am the Iron Head Kung Fu! The invincible Iron Head Kung Fu~ You are the Vajra Legs...the Vajra Legs!"
The meaning of the song he chose is unclear. Strictly speaking, it is a duet piece, and he is not very good at singing Cantonese songs. In short, the melody suddenly flashed in my mind and I sang happily.
Ordinary people may sing in this kind of environment, mainly to relieve tension and fear. And Feng Bujue... was just walking around the community after dinner, humming and humming...
At this moment, he came over with a flashlight, and the system prompt did not sound as expected. It seems that the death flag has been removed, and normal traffic can be resumed.
"Woah~ woah..."
Brother Jue had not gone far when another sound came, this time it was the cry of a baby.
"So...how many side quests are there..." Feng Bujue muttered, "The baby's room is haunted too, right? OK..." He looked in the right direction and walked towards the place where the crying sound came from. (To be continued...)
